There is provided a disk drive that includes a base, a limiting member, an
actuator, and a latch. The actuator includes an actuator catch with a
catch path. The latch contacts the limiting member with the latch in an
open position. The latch is biased to rotate to a defeat position. An
arresting portion is in the catch path with the latch in a closed
position. The arresting portion is not in the catch path with the latch
in the open position, and not in the catch path with the latch in the
defeat position. A crash stop portion contacts the actuator with the
latch in the closed position and with the actuator in a stop position.
The crash stop portion does not contact the actuator with the latch in
the defeat position. Also provided is a method of reworking a disk drive
having the latch.
